R&D expenses increased to US$19.2 million in 3Q05, up 17.7% QoQ from US$16.3 million in 2Q05, primarily due to 90nm research and development activities and non-recurring start-up costs associated with Fab 6 (Beijing).

G&A expenses increased to US$9.1 million in 3Q05, up 69.0% QoQ from US$5.4 million in 2Q05, primarily due to a foreign exchange loss of US$0.3 million in 3Q05 compared to a foreign exchange gain of US$2.5 million in 2Q05.

Interest expenses increased to US$10.3 million in 3Q05, up 15.2% QoQ from US$9.0 million in 2Q05, primarily due to the increase in bank borrowings and higher interest rates.
